Spyderco Recommendations?

I am not a Manix fan. It is okay, but Spyderco makes more desirable and less pocket hogging knives. (the Manix LW and Native 5 LW have no liners). If you are going to only get to buy one knife, then get a good one. I would get a Stretch LW or a Para Military. These are within your budget. You can shop with no fear at knifeworks.com and other authorized dealers. There are still some VG-10 Stretch LW models out there, if you look, also.
 
Just recently seen the Chaparral in Carbon fiber with cts-xhp steel is in your budget if your ok with a blade just shy of 3". It's a nice one.
 
While not on your list, I would recommend taking a good look at the Spyderco Slysz Bowie.

Great size, great steel and very smooth.

This is hands down my favorite Spyderco of all time!
 
Several legit websites have the paramilitary 2 for 122-125 and the tip isn't finer than a delica or manix. Might even be stronger! Message or email me if you wanna see that
 
I generally like blade in the 3.5" range, but I haven't found any task that the Delica cant handle and it has become my go to knife. I don't know how long ago you had one, but the newer ones are screw construction and have steel liners. The Endura is slightly over your size limit, so if you liked the Delica, but found it a bit small you could try the Stretch. I also am a fan of the PM2 and have had many of them, but my Delica gets carried more often.
